Help with AWK Code
hello,

I would appreciate a little assistance with a process I'm trying to automate. I have several files that are zipped in central location, all follow the same naming conventions i.e (file 1, file 2, etc). what i would like to do is unzip the files and combined them into one file, basically add the 2nd file to the end of the first file, and 3rd file to the end of the 2nd one and so on and so on until all the files in the folder are added. i'd like to output the data into one file. I would like to use AWK to do this but i have no idea where to start, any feedback would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.

Why you want to use awk for this?

you can just go through all the files in a for loop or something and add them up with
cat file2 >> file 1 (or any one big file name you prefer) then move the files or delete...

u can do this in many ways actually..
